Amid election nonsense, middle class teetering

So now we quibble about the tea party credentials and radical ideology of Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee. We are further distracted by anti-abortion zealots in the Congress who submitted bills on 33 occasions, unsuccessfully, while the country yearns for visionary policies. All of this is taking place while big banks were looting the country and driving the economy into recession and crippling job losses.

Republican job creator Mitt Romney seems more willing to reveal information on his Cadillacs than his tax records and jobs outsourcing. The media excite us with trivial polls, but we are sparsely informed about the efforts of some Republican governors to muzzle our voices and our right to vote. As jobs flee the country and millionaires control our government, we are witnessing the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich while the middle class teeters on the verge of collapse. Welcome to the banana republic of the United States.
